Enabling New Levels of Performance, Efficiency, and Reliability for Dual Processor Platforms
|
|
|
|
Intel’s advanced dual-core processor for dual processor (DP) servers and workstations enhances virtual environments, builds in greater capabilities for security and availability, and incorporates new tools for efficient manageability.
|
|
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5000 series enables next-generation platforms with the capabilities to get more done on fewer systems, optimize data center density, and improve business continuity, redefining what DP servers and workstations should deliver to help businesses be more efficient, dependable, and agile. The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5000 series, with 64-bit, dual-core computing and greater power efficiency, is ideal for intense computing environments, business-critical applications, and high-end workstations. Powered by the Intel 5000 chipset family and Fully Buffered DIMM (FBDIMM) technology, new Intel Xeon processor 5000 series-based platforms are expected to deliver up to 2 times the performance and up to 70% the
performance/watt of previous single-core Intel Xeon processors

• Significant performance headroom, especially for multi-threaded applications, helps boost
system utilization through virtualization and application responsiveness.
|
|
|
|
|
2 MB integrated L2 cache per core (2x2M)
|
• More data can be stored closer to processor execution units for faster data access, resulting in higher system throughput and shorter system latency.
|
|
|
|
|
1066 MHz system bus
|
• Faster system bus speeds than previous generations for increased throughput.
|
|
|
|
|
Intel Virtualization Technology
|
• New processor hardware enhancements that support software-based virtualization, enabling migration of more environments — including 64-bit OSs and applications — to virtual nvironments.
|
|
|
|
|
Power-optimized SKUs at 95W
|
• Several SKUs available at reduced power envelopes will deliver even higher performance
per watt – helps reduce power/thermal operating costs and improve data center density.
|
|
|
|
|
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology
|
• Enables up to 8 logical threads in a dual-processor platform to improve processor utilization
and system responsiveness.
